His mother, Naomi White, is demanding to see surveillance video of the crash so she can finally know what happened.

“I still have no answers. I want to see the video so I can know what happened to my child. There’s no way that it’s been five months and I still have yet to know what happened to my son. Why can’t I see the video?” White said.

No charges have been filed in connection with the crash yet.

There’s a petition to rename Kennywood Boulevard in Byars’ honor.

So far, that petition has more than 2,500 signatures.
